1. The challenge was finding a classroom i could go into. The teacher i was going to go to didn't have class that period.
2, I thought about focusing the picture the most. I tried auto focus and if it didn't work I tried manual focus.
3. If i could re take the photos i would try to focus on the simplicity rule.
4. I would take the framing pictures again.
5. I think the rule of thirds will be the easiest.
6. I think the framing will the hardest.
7. I'm still not completely sure of no mergers.

I like how you took the simplicity picture from above and I like how the balance photo was taken behind them.
But i didn't like how there was a extra person in the framing picture.

Aperture
2.8 aperture
16 aperture
2.The smaller the aperture more light gets captured, the higher the aperture less light gets captured
3.If the F number if high the background is going to be sharp but if the F number is low the background is going to be blurry.
Shutter Speed.
high shutter speed
Slow shutter speed
1.
a. I would use medium because there would be anything fast moving in the picture.
b. I would use medium because there wouldn't be a lot of stuff going on but there is still people walking.
c. I would use fast because their action and movements can be fast and you have to use fast to capture their movements clearly.
d. I would use fast to capture their movements
e. I would use medium
f. I would use fast
a. I would use medium
b. I would use slow
c. I would use medium
e. I would use medium
f. I would use slow
"Auto" The camera choses the shutter speed and the aperture.
"Aperture priority" You select the aperture size but the camera choses the shutter speed.
"Manual" You choses both
ISO
ISO 200
ISO 6400
1. You can make the picture look clearer and less blurry.
2. Mostly use lower ISO in where theres light.
3. When there isn't as much light.
CANON
Aperture settings 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22 and in between
Shutter Speed 1 sec 1/60 1/4000 sec and in between
ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, and 25600
1. The main of this article regarding manipulating pictures was that it is getting easier to edit them and change them. Back when the camera was invented editing pictures was a thing. but now it has been easier and easier to edit and manipulate them.
2. The philosophy of New York times are that the photographers have to turn in all of their proofs to prove they didn't change the photo in a way that will alter the story dramatically.
3. I think you can alter stuff that will help you see the image like for example the lighting but not edit it drastically like for example editing a picture of a presidential candidate to make them look bad.
4.
I think this is unethical because it makes OJ Simpson look even more bad or "menacing". The editing was used to be against a person.
5. I think this photo of the pyramids is the least unethical because it doesn't look edited and it is not used to be against anyone. It is manipulating objects and that is not as ab as manipulating people.

My favorite photo here is the drop the bass picture by Maria Martinez.
1. I liked the picture because it mixed colorful colors with a cool experiment.
2. Balance. there was balance between all the sides of the picture.
And its simple
1. Science classrooms
2. Mrs. Keyes room.
3.I will use the guidelines

Second post assignment
1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts?
The main challenge was time, i think i was rushed near the end. Also focusing in the wind was hard.
2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
I used focus and the portrait view the most, i used focus in basically every picture and i used portrait view when getting close up to an object and taking a picture of half of that object with the rest of the picture being of a far background.
3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I would focus on no mergers and using my time wisely.
4. What things would you do the same?
I would probably take thee same photos, and maybe explore more of the school nad take more photos.
5. Go to the 1st prompt assignment.
6.Im not interested in doing the assignment again because i'm probably going go to the same areas and take the same photos, i would like to get 4 new prompts.

I like how you changed the lighting on the square photo.
I also like the simplicity on the Metal photo.
I didn't really like how on your Bowie photo you had a person on the very right i think the photo would have been better if she was cut out or you angled the camera a little to the left.

Rule of Thirds
The Towers are on the right 1/3 side of the picture, and the smoke is on the top right, and gives the picture enough room for the plane to be in the middle.
Framing
The broken wall works as a frame for the firefighter, and makes us focus on him/her.
Lines
The vertical lines makes it easy for us to focus on the falling man. Although the lines are not pointing towards him, the man is in the middle of the lines and it makes it easier to focus on him.
Simplicity
This picture is simple because it only shows the main point of the picture and nothing else. (except the tree)
Balance
There a balance of the the towers and the mourning people on the ground
No mergers
The pictures show us what not to do, like putting in the blue building that intersects the towers.

Camera Quetions
1. Explain the "camera obscura" effect. How is it achieved?
The obscura effect was made with a tiny hole on a wall of a completely dark room, light is focused through the hole and the outside object is project in the other side of the room upside down.
2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern art?

The sports mode is used to take picture in fast motion. The shutter speed is faster.
9. Why should you do a half press the trigger button?

It will be 2 stops brighter.
17.What effect does a longer shudder speed have?
It captures more light.
18.What effect does a shorter shudder speed have?
It captures less light.
19.What does the aperture control?
The aperture controls light.
